Country Coach owners.Life at TTO is life in the slow lane. Early in our stay we visited with TREK friends who came to TTO after the Safari TREK rally near Tampa. As our stay continued, we spent time with many other friends who came and left during our stay. The RVing community is a small, tight-knit world. As is the paddling community. We always talk to others with canoes or kayaks, such as John and Susan, who were camped just across from us. We found we belonged to the same paddling club and had some common friends. We weren't able to paddle with them before leaving TTO, but hope to paddle with them before our trip is over. We mainly stayed close to home, not leaving the park on most days. We went to dinner at a nearby Chili's a couple of nights, usually to say farewell when someone was leaving to travel to some other far-off adventure. We paddled a few days (see separate posts). Most days were filled with doing nothing, or with me playing pickleball and Dorcas walking Matilda. We discovered a large network of trails in an undeveloped section of the park where we can let Matilda off-leash. It is a good place to meet other dog owners and make doggie play dates with Zipper (we also played with at TT Peace River), Rusty, Charlie and Christy. There is a resident gopher tortoise who cruises our campsite regularly and a pair of sand hill cranes who make the open areas home. Red-shoulderd hawks and barred owls are also common in the park. Every evening we listen to, and sometimes watch, the nightly fireworks at Walt Disney World, about 5 miles away, as the hawk flies. Or about a week away as the gopher tortoise crawls. Ah ... life in the slow lane.
